Title: Help Identificating These 3Dfx Card
Post by Luis C Simal on 08.11.05 at 18:30:33
I need to identificaty this 3dfx card, because a friend of me, give me a non-working old computer (year 1998 aprox), and I am trying to recover the old cards in it.
This is the card:

<<PHOTOS>>
It has a 3dfx interactive card, it is an AGP Video card, with only a 15-pin monitor connector in the front, and with the references 3Dfx interactive. ASSY: 650-0043-01. SN: (white rectangle), and down: 809027 writes in the right upper corner of the front side, and the words “Magic TwinPower” writes at the back.
In the chip (covered in the photographs), it says: 3dfx interactive, 500-0013-04, F03167.1 BAN, 9848 20005, TAIWAN 3001.
I hope you help me to identify these card, and where can I download the appropiate drivers, to be able to use it.

Searching these webs, i think it could be a Voodoo Banshee, but which one? And, what about the appropiate drivers?

Thanks.

the cards from Skywell Technology were also my favourites, they made the best Voodoo2 and Voodoo Banshee's.

They OC pretty well hehe some of thier Voodoo2's had 121Mhz and 125Mhz ram :D I do remember that there is a Danish user that has a Skywell Technology Magic3D II 12MB which has 121Mhz ram rather insane hay, only I can't recall his name.  :-/
